In a bribery case, because the criminal suspect raised the defense of having a courtesy exchange with many of the bribe-givers, and the case file did not involve it, the lawyer decided to investigate the relevant briber.

Since there is no contact information of the bribe-givers in the case file, the lawyer can only help find the contact information of these bribe-givers through the family. The family asked, "What do you want to know about them?" The lawyer said: "You just have to come here, and you can't tell you anything to investigate." ”

So every time the family found the relevant briber, the lawyer conducted a separate investigation and questioning, and told the witness not to mention the matters involved in the investigation with the family and anyone else. Due to the reasonable arrangement of work procedures, the legal procedures for lawyers to collect evidence, and whether there is communication between the briber and the family, so that the lawyer's investigation has legitimacy and objectivity, the zj evidence collected has been accepted by the court.

Lawyers' investigation and collection of evidence are inseparable from the cooperation of family members. In practice, finding witnesses is sometimes a difficult task, and finding witnesses through family cooperation is often a last resort.

Finding witnesses through family members is a risk in itself, what if the family members collude with witnesses to provide false evidence to lawyers? Therefore, in order to avoid the wind as much as possible, only tell the family members who they want to find and find people, and as for what they are looking for and what to investigate, they are resolutely kept secret. Witnesses are also required to keep their confidentiality.

Only in this way can it be ensured that the testimony collected has not been contaminated and that the objectivity and validity of the testimony under investigation can be ensured.
